Actress Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Justin Theroux, an actor who also wrote the blockbuster films “Tropic Thunder” and “Iron Man 2,” are set to jointly purchase a home for roughly $22 million in Los Angeles’s Bel-Air neighborhood, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The 8,500-square-foot home, which is listed for $24.9 million, is owned by Robert Maguire, who founded real-estate company Maguire Properties Inc. Mr. Maguire first put the A. Quincy Jones-designed home on the market in 2008, but has taken it on and off several times since then. Last year, he re-listed the property for $29 million before reducing it.

The four-bedroom, seven-bathroom midcentury home has floor-to-ceiling glass windows and ocean views. It’s situated on 3 acres and includes a separate guest house, pool, and a vineyard.

The purchase comes about six months after Ms. Aniston, best known for her role as Rachel on the long-running sitcom “Friends,” sold her 1970 Hal Levitt-designed home in Beverly Hills for $36 million. She bought that property in 2006 for $13.5 million, according to public records.

Since they began dating last fall, Ms. Aniston and Mr. Theroux have split their time between New York, where Ms. Aniston bought a home last year, and Los Angeles, where she was renting. Ms. Aniston and Mr. Theroux both star in the upcoming comedy about a Manhattan couple who moves to a rural commune called “Wanderlust.” They met while shooting the film, which also stars actor Paul Rudd. It hits theaters next month.
